Some nouns can be formed by taking another noun or verb and either adding letters, removing letters or a combination of both. This is especially common when we are talking about jobs and occupations (for example: sail - sailor).
There are no rules which tell you how each word changes. You must learn each one individually.
The removal or addition of letters occasionally changes the pronunciation of parts of the original word.
Use the instructions on the right to change the words on the left to nouns in order to give the
names of the people who do those things. Some of the instructions on the right can be used more than once.
